Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This course addresses the varied forms of social and citizen action that seek and produce well-being and hope in contexts of (ongoing) violence. We will focus on Latin American experiences of conflict and post-conflict from a decolonial approach.

We will study forms of political violence and citizen forms of resistance, reparation and hope that have taken place in various geographies and historical moments across Latin America. We will attend to scholarship production as well as varied forms and expressions of popular culture that provide a vantage point for addressing these issues.

Method:
The course is intended as a space for debate that arises from the careful reading of the material required for each week. Each session consists of a). Discussion of the literature, b). Presentation of a case study, c). class exercises. To enhance discussions, students are to present the literature meant for each session.

Students will submit one essay on the topics discussed in class.

Likewise, each student must hand in an individually selected empirical paper on the topic of the SE.
